You and me under the world tree

Not to mention whether they are good at self-concealment and tracking, even if they walk close to those guards like a fool, those guards will not find any traces.

Because magic has long hidden their tracks.

And they didn't do anything else, they just stood behind those guards.

Just like that, the two wizards walked behind the guards as if strolling in the yard, watching the guards come to a house that looked a little old.

However, they didn't seem to be in a hurry to knock on the door, but instead looked at each other.

It looked like it was whispering.

"Who's coming?"

"I don't want to do that."

"Then I'll come."

Finally, one of the guards gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

The topics between them inevitably aroused Hodder's curiosity.

At this moment, the sage and the princess looked at each other silently.

"Who lives here?"

Just when the guard knocked on the door lightly, Hodder asked in a low voice.

"I do not know."

"Yes, then I know."

"Ok?"

Do you understand again?

With puzzled eyes, Dietrich just stared at Hodder, as if she wanted to get some kind of answer from him.

"You seemed to be confirming something before?"

"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter. I thought this might be a noble family, and if it's a place where nobles or other upper-class people live, you should have an impression."

Not because of anything else, because Dietrich is a Gothic princess.

When the interior of the Gothic Kingdom was still calm and the filth behind it had not yet surfaced, she was the only heir in the kingdom.

As a matter of course, she should have an understanding of the big and small forces in her kingdom.

However, there is no way to say for sure about this matter.

At least Dietrich herself didn't think so.

After feeling the trust in ability shown by Huo De, she felt a huge pressure inexplicably.

So at this moment, Her Royal Highness, who now controls the real power of Goth, just shook her head.

She who was once proud simply denied this.

"The lord has a lot of power." She just said, "And this area: Grimes, if I remember correctly, Limstein is ruling."

"What kind of person is he?"

"Enthusiastic about power, but not aggressive."

"Only looking after immediate interests?"

"And it's still the kind of clinging on."

To be honest, Hodder is quite familiar with such a person.

Because he has seen a lot.

There are such figures within the Hengding family.

"If the king is capable and the kingdom is stable, he may not make any big mistakes, but if something goes wrong and his ambition grows, he may not be able to control it himself. I'm afraid he will not do less things like killing chickens to get eggs and seeking skins from tigers. "

"Yes, it is like that."

Dietrich didn't even have much doubt about this.

Because she thinks so too.

'Boom dong dong'

Then, the knock on the door sounded again.

This made the two of them who had finished their conversation couldn't help turning their eyes to the gate again, only to see that the guards were still knocking on the door.

About a few minutes passed, but there was no movement from the other side of the door.

"There seems to be a problem..." Hodder couldn't help but whispered.

"I know why."

"what happened?"

After hearing Hodder's question, Dietrich wanted to answer directly at first.

But soon, she swallowed the words again.

"You can see the specifics yourself, the owner of this house is still there."

"Well, I probably understand."

Before waiting for Dietrich to give any more hints, Hodder chose not to talk about it.

He just watched the guards.

At this time, seeing that no one in the room responded, the guard also became anxious.

"boom"

In the end, they chose to smash open the old wooden door that didn't look very strong.

Then he broke in.

"lady!"

"aunt!"

They called out.

The names are different.

But no one responded to them.

But when Huo De subconsciously followed the guards into the room, he saw the woman lying on the bed.

She didn't look very old, but she couldn't wake up anymore.

"died……"

The guards looked at each other.

They looked stunned and even pursed their lips.

It could be seen that they did not want to see this scene.

"How can you die?"

Just when the guards couldn't help feeling uneasy, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

"Hodder, someone is here."

"I know."

At this time, the sage who was blocking the door opened a sideways position at will.

Accompanied by the sound of hurried, heavy footsteps, a young man ran upstairs.

"Mother!"

The voice was anxious and worried.

And when he rushed upstairs, what Hodder saw was a man dressed like a traveler.

Like a wanderer returning home.

After realizing what, Hodder couldn't help turning his head away.

"It's a step late, and it happens to be at this time."

Chapter 2: The problem

In fact, Hodder did not know the young man who rushed upstairs.

But according to the light attire like a traveler, he was able to guess the whole process of this matter.

It has nothing to do with occupation or age, it's just an ordinary, but still heart-wrenching tragedy.

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help but sighed.

He subconsciously shifted his gaze to Dietrich.

But at this moment, what caught his eyes was the same complicated expression.

Her Royal Highness the Gothic Princess just stared at the young man who seemed to be about 20 years old, as if she wanted to see something from him.

Under the watchful eyes of two bystanders who had disappeared their tracks, the young man who had returned from a long journey staggered into the house.

He just stared at those guards, with strong puzzlement in his eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

He asked about it.

But I'm afraid even the young man himself didn't realize that there was a trace of trembling and fear in his voice.

Vaguely, he should have noticed the specific situation.

However, he instinctively denied this.

"This is my room..." he said.

"Walter."

At this time, the guards who looked at each other seemed to have made some kind of determination.

A man stood out among them, who seemed to know the young man.

But before he could say anything, the young man saw the scene behind them through the barrier-like guards.

The old-looking, familiar face.
